Today I got some junk mail, for believe it or not, Cremation services. This junk mail inspired me to host this swap. For this swap you need to use a piece of junk mail, such as a letter from a credit card company, or insurance company. Cut out words from the letter, to create a meaningful few words, aka found poetry PLUS you must add at least ONE used real postage stamp. This swap is mainly about the words in the letter, and not about the images. It is about found poetry in Junk mail. After you have added the words, and one postage stamp, you are required to do at least one more thing to your card. Ink edges, or add an image, a flower, a punch, use a rubber stamps, etc. So the idea is not to just add words and a stamp, do at least one more thing. Your cards need to measure 2.5 x 3.5, have a sturdy backing, have contact info on the back, and be mailed in a safe manner. The cards are senders choice so you can get started now. TOO BUSY? Well dont worry I will do round 2 in Jan 2015. This is the USA version and there is an international version. Despite the fact the the image for this swap is horizontal, please make your cards vertical. meaning the top is 2.5 and the sides are 3.5. BTW YES you have to use junk mail not a book or a magazine, but junk mail. Dont have junk mail? Hmmm Im jealous! |
